Tame Impala - Lonerism

[Zephyr_Nova]

Great band, just don't pay any attention to the lyrics because it'll ruin it.

 

*edit: haven't heard this new one yet. Maybe he's found something to sing about this time around...

[sidewinder]

Enjoying my first listen right now Might be more consistently good than the first album. As I said before, Innerspeaker started off with the best song and while I do enjoy the album as a whole, it's never a good thing to like the first song best.

[keppj0nes]

Not sure about the proper tracklist order for this. But Mind Mischief, Keep on Lying, and Why wont they talk to me are all pretty monstrous tracks.

[jules]

this is out on itunes in australia now but we have to wait until next week? why have different digital release dates?

 

oh right, so by the time it becomes available i already have it instead of buying it. right.

[Guest W32MyDoom]

It's really fun and psychedelic at times, love this synths too but I can't get past the fact that it sounds exactly like the Beatles.

[Candiru]

I think this band is on fire. Sounding like John Lennon isn't a bad thing at all.

[MaartenVC]

Also check 'Rough Trade Bonus'.

[jules]

finally got this today. just killer. killer songs. killer production. killer sound. bravo.

Alt-J made the best album 2012! All of u must listen An Awesome Wave!

[jules]

is that the one with Adam sandler singing?

[Aphex_Squarepusher_Twin]

no --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-J_%28%E2%88%86%29

 

;-)

[jules]

heh, no i know. i can not not hear adam sandler's singing voice though. totally destroys it for me.

 

anyway, lonerism is seriously a great record. what a sound they have. the fridmann production is unmistakable.

[delet...]

is that the one with Adam sandler singing?

`

 

Might as well be.

[Aphex_Squarepusher_Twin]

lonerism is mayb a great record, but i've listened it once time... wait a moment, it's not enough 2 listen it once time... after i'll come here... but u must listen Alt-J, cause as it wrote from wikipedia:

An Awesome Wave

 

Their debut album drew on multiple musical genres and sensibilities (folk, rock bass, catchy pop, hip-hop beats, trip-hop atmosphere, indie-rock quirkiness, electronic heavy synth riffs), wedding them to intimately personal, sometimes confessional lyrics, peppered with film and literary references including allusions to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Luc Besson's Léon: The Professional and Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are.

 

also synth pop & more as style!

I have been loving Alt-J's An Awesome Wave, probably more than Lonerism up to this point. I just finished listening to a live stream of a session they did for our local station, KEXP.

[jules]

i have a buddy here who is obsessed with kexp.

 

this thread has been hijacked by alt-j, i just can not not hear adam sandler. totally destroys it for me. musically, i love it, but now way will i ever be able to unhear the sandler voice. someone in my office honestly thought it was a new adam sandler album.

I guess you're not a fan of Maps & Atlases either.

[Aphex_Squarepusher_Twin]

[jules]

[Guest Jimmy McMessageboard]

It's funny, to me there was only one track on Innerspeaker that reminded me of The Beatles - "It Is Not Meant to be" - and maybe two on Lonerism.

[J3FF3R00]

Heard this one on the radio last night...

... nice.

 

 

I still can't help but think of Dungen every time I listen to these guys. They are good tho.

[Guest bitroast]

just earlier today bought tickets to see them live later this year^~^

i'm hoping it'll be enjoyable. alot of the satisfaction from this music comes from the super tight production, but i'm sure there'll be enjoyable live too.

 

(also, may have purchased tickets to see my bloody valentine today as well. it's been a wallet exhausting/exciting day^^ ^^ ^^).

[jules]

i am wearing this record out.

 

 

if you have to compare, it is much more flaming lips than beatles.
